@ave: "Vista: x64 Ultimate build 5384
Motherboard: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
Vista is installed and works fairly well for a number of applications, but 
it does not recognize my aliciaalvarez@example.org.  I know it has to see it at some 
level to have everything working, including the onboard sound and nforce4 
processor, but whenever I try to do things like update the board bios or 
install the asus monitoring tools it lists that I have no Asus motherboard 
installed.  There are also 'unknown devices' which I have tracked down to the 
game ports, but it won't let me install the drivers for them because I don't 
have any Asus motherboards installed.
Has anyone seen this before and know how to get the system to recognize my 
mainboard?  I can't find any Vista drivers on the Asus site."
    @Shikamaru: "I have the same mother board and I am also having trouble with the drivers. 
For starters I cant get a working sound driver for, "Realtek ALC850 AC'97 
Driver" and I also have 4gig of memory and it only reads 2gig's?

    @MrCoffee: "I installed the realtek drivers from asus.
it was a 84 meg download for all windows os's.
i installed them and clicked run as administrator.
when it was done the icon showed up in the tray and allowed my to get all of 
my speakers working.
before that the speaker setup would only have sound out of the front's and 
the center
it showed all of the speakers but no sound came out the sub or the rear 
speakers
when tested.
i'm running vista rc1 bld 5600

    @IdahoCobra: "I have the same motherboard. I have withdrawn from using Windows Vista 
because of the lack of drivers and support indicated at this time. ASUS is a 
major manufactorer of leading edge boards but the drivers and installation 
were unsatisfactory. The Board was unstable in my experience with Vista.

    @DCELL: "I have VISTA 32bit RTM on this board, all ports/drives plugged into the USB 
headers work, sound works, NVIDIA & Marvell ethernet connections work, etc., 
etc.  Only issue I had was after installing a couple of programs, control 
panel would crash windows explorer.  Backtracking, using system restore got 
back to CP working right, reinstalled everything I had before, except PC 
Probe II (that might have caused the issue), no problems now.  I probably 
won't be re-installing that.  I have the most current bios, I doubt they'll 
be releasing anymore BIOS updates for this board so there's really no reason 
to have ASUS update on here.  If you've got the most current BIOS, you don't 
need to run any ASUS programs anyway.  You shouldn't need any drivers that 
aren't already installed by VISTA or after running MS update.  Try a 
re-install, with a format/complete install, not updating or repairing your 
windows install.  I've got some weird hardware hooked up/on board, the 
install & update found all the drivers.  Jim

    @formerprof: "My A8N32SLI-Deluxe works perfectly with Vista x86 and x64; the real support 
you'd be needing if you keep the board are the nVidia drivers for the 
chipset and disk controllers.  There should be Vista drivers for the Nforce 
4 chipset for quite a while to come.  ASUS "support" amounts to allowing you 
to download the nVidia drivers. I don't think you have anything to gain by 
changing boards but keeping the same memory and CPU.
All good wishes.

that the usb ports did not work. 
Asus support appear to say they will support this board and vista.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
My name is Sky and it is my pleasure to help you with your problem
today.
Sorry sir, as you know, Microsoft has not released Windows Vista for
sale, so there is no support for it now, as the software for it are
also a beta version that we can not offer them to our customer. We will
support this system in a month after the Vista official version comes
out, so could you please wait for the Vista official version? You also
could ask nvidia for help.

connects to the internet only in safe mode. is ASUS working for support of 
this mobo?
I ordered the a8n32-sli deluxe 3 months or so ago, i haven't even opened it 
yet b/c of the marvell yukon integrated lan card bad rap i've read on the 
internet.
Should i switch to a different mobo company?
Any fix for the A8V mobo LAN issues?

    @pjb2lk1vd: "ketzazu, I have not heard anything bad personally about Yukon. Indeed I
actually use that LAN socket for my daily use. Here is a link to the
download page for Yukon Windows Vista x86 (yk60x86_v83.161.120.155.zip)
Released 29th January. I manually updated the driver to this, and it
works fine for me. Hope it helps you.

in an unopened box specially for Vista but I read that it is not vista 
compatible. ASUS supprot told me to return it to the online retailer but I 
bought it in september 06 and they say say they can only replace it.
I will no longer buy ASUS products because they refuse to support theur XP 
motherboards so that they can sell their new Vista boards.
